Agile Testing Fundamentals
Applying Testing Best Practices to Agile Projects
Description
Effective software testing is critical to the success of agile development projects. Unlike traditional software development approaches, agile incorporates testing into the entire lifecycle and asks developers and testers to work togetherto perform a variety of testing activities. Many testers struggle to understand their role within agile projects and how to best apply their testing knowledge and experiences within the agile paradigm.
This course prepares you to be an effective member of an agile team by teaching you everything you need to know about agile software testing. Learn the fundamentals of agile, how quality is viewed and achieved within agile projects, and the role that effective testers play during the development process. Understand how to plan and execute a variety of necessary testing activities to support the development process and effectively critique the product during short development iterations. Explore key agile testing techniques such as:
- Test Driven Development (TDD),
- Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD),
- Iterative testing of non-functional requirements, and
- Exploratory Testing
Learn how to best automate your tests and integrate them into your build process. Understand the role of quality metrics within agile and how to wield them effectively. Leave this course with an understanding of how to apply testing best practices to agile.
Hands-On Experience
During Agile Testing Fundamentals, you will explore agile testing tools and techniques through a variety of examples and hands-on exercises. Participants will work in small groups to plan and execute tests within an agile development process.
Who Should Attend?
This course is appropriate for both novice and experienced software testers. Developers expected to test within agile teams will find this course extremely useful. Test and development managers also will benefit from this course. A background of basic development and testing processes is helpful.
